Chapter 205 A Battle That Shocked the World_1
No one expected Gu Chen to have such gall, to slaughter Ananda right in front of Zha Jiedunzhu.
Such an incident, if it were to be spread back to Da Yuan, would surely cause a major earthquake!
After all, that was the future leader of the Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect of the Great Snow Mountain, a peerless figure emerging for the first time in nearly two hundred years, destined to lead the entirety of Da Yuan to prosperity. Yet, he was slain by Gu Chen.
"Well killed!"
The crown prince bellowed, his eyes shining. He looked at Gu Chen and felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. Since the Emperor of Xia disappeared, he had been feeling extremely suppressed. Today, seeing Gu Chen slaying Ananda, he felt as if he had released all the pent-up frustration in his heart.
Even King Huai gave a slight nod, clearly satisfied with Gu Chen's decisiveness.
Duke of the Liang State, Chen Yu, and Zhou Qing also cheered for Gu Chen, their expressions somewhat excited.
If Da Yuan dared to send Ananda to suppress Da Xia, they naturally had to be prepared for this kind of outcome.
Moreover, not long ago, Ananda blocked the outer city of Tiandu, causing all of Da Xia to lose face, and the morale and support of the people plummeted to the lowest point in history.
Now, if the news of Gu Chen slaying Ananda were to spread, the depressed morale of the entire Da Xia, because of the Emperor's disappearance and the impact brought by Ananda, would instantly soar. At the same time, Da Yuan's plan to suppress Da Xia would be declared a failure.
"Well killed!"
"Da Xia is invincible!"
"Da Xia will prevail!"
"Da Xia will prevail, and so will Lord Gu!"
Countless citizens, upon hearing this news, cheered loudly.
However, as ecstatic as the crown prince and his entourage were, Zha Jiedunzhu was in agony. At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot and his body emitted a terrifying aura that seemed to shake heaven and earth.
"I will kill you!" Zha Jiedunzhu roared, charging straight towards Gu Chen.
In that instant, Gu Chen felt as if his body were being scraped by knives, a bone-piercing crisis that made him feel as if he had fallen into a pit of ice, chilling him from the surface to his viscera.
Boom!
But just then, a streak of light fell from the sky, carrying a tremendous force, aimed at the raging Zha Jiedunzhu.
Seeing this, Qin Wu, the deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department who had just thought to make a move, stood his ground.
"Tower Supervisor!"
Zha Jiedunzhu roared to the heavens, as the person who intervened was none other than the Tower Supervisor himself, blocking his path. The qi of heaven and earth formed a wall of energy, cutting him off right there.
"If you dare to strike at will in Tiandu, I will surely slay you!"
The majestic and aged voice echoed through Tiandu like the authority of heaven, long-lasting and reverberating.
But the furious Zha Jiedunzhu didn't care for any of that, his eyes bloodshot, he angrily said, "He killed Ananda, and I will kill him. Tower Supervisor, you can't stop me!"
In Zha Jiedunzhu's view, why did the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor not dare to fight him? Wasn't it because he knew he was old and in decline, while Zha Jiedunzhu was in his prime? He feared that he was not his match, so he didn't dare to fight.
Otherwise, with his arrogance, the Tower Supervisor would have acted long ago, why wait until now?
After all, if it weren't for Gu Chen's appearance, the face of Da Xia would have been completely shaven by him and Ananda, and they would have been the laughingstock of the world.
Boom!
Zha Jiedunzhu's body burst with surging qi, like a volcano erupting, and at that moment, he was like a meteor, slamming into the qi wall formed by the Tower Supervisor.
This terrifying momentum, if he were to break through, would not even require a strike; most of those present would die or be injured.
"Lord, run!"
"Your Highness, get out of here!"
Instantly, Mr. Gongsun and the imperial guards surrounded the crown prince, King Huai, and others as they left.
All officials and nobles of Da Xia did the same, as did the common citizens, who ran toward the distance while shouting.
After all, if Zha Jiedunzhu went mad and clashed with the Tower Supervisor or the deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department, the aftershocks alone could kill a large swath of people.
Gu Chengfeng's family was anxious. They wanted to pull Gu Chen and flee together, but the scene was chaotic, the crowd was squeezing, everyone was running out, and they couldn't get through.
Thunderous!
At this moment, from the heavens above, came a cold snort, like thunder, and suddenly, the invisible power of heaven and earth surged, rushing at the furious Zha Jiedunzhu.
Qin Wu, standing by, felt this force of heaven and earth, and his complexion immediately changed, looking towards the direction of the Qintian Monitor.
"The Tower Supervisor's momentum, indeed, has not lessened since his heyday," Qin Wu inwardly sighed, knowing that Zha Jiedunzhu would not be a match for the Tower Supervisor.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zha Jiedunzhu felt the world spinning before his eyes, and the next instant, he found himself in another place.
There, he also saw the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor, sitting not far away, with white hair and beard.
Zha Jiedunzhu's heart chilled. Such a method could instantly transport him, a top martial grandmaster, to this place; the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor was indeed as renowned as they said.
However, seeing the Tower Supervisor's aged figure, a vicious smile surfaced on Zha Jiedunzhu's face. He didn't believe that the aged Tower Supervisor, now frail with age, would still be a match for him in his prime.
If he couldn't kill Gu Chen, it would still be good to severely injure the Tower Supervisor.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Then, with a roar, Zha Jiedunzhu harnessed the qi of heaven and earth, and with a ferocious palm strike, he aimed it at the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor.
But the next moment, Zha Jiedunzhu felt the scene before his eyes shift again, and he was already transferred from the Star Gazing platform of the Qintian Monitor to amidst an endless expanse of stars.
Zha Jiedunzhu's expression changed drastically. He looked all around him but could not see the figure of the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor anywhere.
